The Lord Directs Our Steps
In these three psalms, David offers praise, prayer, and thanksgiving to the living God. David knows it is the Lord who instructs his heart and directs his steps.
David is thoughtful (Psalm 16), under pressure (Psalm 17), and looking back at God’s provision (Psalm 18). In all circumstances, David’s gaze and his trust are in the Lord’s faithfulness.
“I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me." - Psalm 16:7
Paul’s second missionary journey has two purposes. They encourage existing churches and they plant new churches in Gentile regions. At every turn, Paul and his coworkers depend on the Lord’s divine direction for their journey.
